Ethan Lazarus MD: Medical Weight Loss Doctor in Denver Colorado

Why See an Obesity Medicine Physician?

I’ve been helping people find ways to lose weight and improve their health for over 20 years. I’ve discovered that losing weight is about much more than just what the scale says. Here are a few benefits of medical weight loss:

Improved mental health and happiness.
Feel better physically, with less pain and more energy.
Do the things you enjoy, like climbing stairs or skiing all day!
Improve your health: take fewer medications and having improved blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels.

A Comprehensive Approach

Losing weight isn’t just about “eating less and moving more.” This old advice often doesn’t work because our bodies resist change. After weight loss, hormonal hunger signals bring the weight back up to where it started. Gaining weight isn’t a sign of weakness. While habits matter, your genes and environment have a much bigger impact.

That’s why we focus on not just healthy habits but also on changing your environment to support weight loss.

A comprehensive approach to weight management includes:

A healthy, individualized food plan.
A reasonable, individualized activity plan.
Medical management of related problems in a weight-friendly way, including:
- Blood Pressure
- Cholesterol
- Blood Sugar
- Mood / Sleep
- Thyroid
Weight loss medications, when indicated

You don’t have to do this alone. With my skilled team of professionals, you can explore a comprehensive approach to achieve your goals.
